K-S-U Wildcats! Manicure

Howdy, everyone! In case you didn't know or aren't sports oriented, today is the college football opening day. Thanks goodness! I love football. In particular, I love Kansas State University Wildcats football, and since we're currently winning our game 51-9 we just won our game 51-9 over Missouri State, I'm thrilled to post my football inspired mani here!

Isn't it cute?! I started with 2 coats of Sonia Kashuk's Rock Star and added a layer of Purple-xing by Nina Ultra Pro. Then, I made stencils with blue painter's tape for the "Power Cats" on my thumb and ring fingers. Power Cats are KSU's mascot symbol. To make the stencils, I put the tape directly on my computer monitor over the design I wanted to trace. I traced them with a pen and then moved the tape to a hard surface and used an X acto knife to cut out the stencil. I waited until the base color was completely dry and then used the stencils to apply some white acrylic paint. Using a dotting tool and a striping brush, I created the designs on my other nails.Here's a closer look at the Power Cat design:

I'm so glad we won today! It was a shaky start but hopefully we'll finish the season like the second half of that game!As always, thanks for reading!
